The design and configurative facets of policies render them analogous to scaffoldings that provide support to structures. This issue showcases an investigation of policies that have scaffolded the service delivery, facilitating, and regulatory functions of the government. Employing various analytical approaches, five articles examined five different policy areas: plastic waste management, fiscal performance management, lake management, COVID mitigation, and education.
The topics discussed in this double issue of the Journal do not fall under a single thematic category. What is remarkable to note in this collection is that all articles are written by scholars who are or have been part of the National College of Public Administration and Governance (NCPAG) as students, faculty members, and researcher and extension staff. This is one of the rare occasions that all academic sectors of the College are represented in a volume of the Journal.
This year’s second issue features four articles (two original articles and two reflections) and a book review. This set highlights the importance of institutions and organizations in the areas of service provision and decision making. Three of the articles investigated selected services in the government’s portfolio against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.
